I've been around music and film my whole life, and love watching and reading about all of the action backstage and behind the scenes.

From the independent film producer who has to make his or her day despite inclement weather, to the guitar tech changing the umpteenth set of strings on the bus at 2 AM, I'm fascinated by these people and their stories.

If you've ever wondered who some of those people are in the long list of credits at the end of a movie and how they got there, or who those sweaty folks in black T-shirts are doing on-stage before a concert or what the hell a record producer actually does, then this podcast is for you.
Thanks for listening.

As I looked through Joel Lonky's resume, one thing became very clear; there's a lot of black ink on the page. That only means one thing: the dude has worked his ass off for a long time, and the list of artists and experiences he's had have made him one of the most in-demand House Engineers in the business. It was also clear in our interview that Joel is a no-nonsense professional, who's passion for his career has been fueled by his love for adventure, problem-solving, and a focus on the task at hand. As the House Engineer for artists such as Billy Idol, Die Antwoord, Rob Zombie, Anthrax, Sean "P-Diddy" Combs, Rage Against the Machine, and so many others, Joel chooses to focus on the mix, not on the thousands of fans in the house and what they might think of the mix. Joel is also a former member of the United States Air Force, a commercial pilot, an FAA certified flight instructor and has logged over 1,200 jumps as an experienced skydiver.
